Pumpkin sauce and a healthy dinner bowl

That tin of pumpkin puree that I used for pumpkin scrolls and chocolate pumpkin digestives was huge. I love pumpkin in savoury food so I made a simple sauce with some of the puree. I still have leftover pumpkin puree in my fridge. Here is what I did for the sauce. It is worth remembering.

The pumpkin sauce was inspired by another pumpkin sauce. I made it on a night when I didn't have a clue what to make for dinner. I made the sauce, cooked up some quinoa and prepared some vegies. To serve I just mixed them all up. It was delicious - very savoury but lightened by the basil. A healthy dinner. I should make this sort of meal more often.

Looks great! Sometimes it can be hard to work through a can of pumpkin puree, but this looks like a great idea. I find that any sauce can hug some beans and veggies to make a tasty dinner. Yum! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks Jac - I really was trying to make something a bit like a pumpkin sauce I had made before with parmesan - I find that I need to try different flavours to make up to the cheesy flavour (not that this tasted at all cheesy but it was tasty)

This looks lovely Johanna - and well worth writing down. These are exactly the sorts of things that need to be blogged so they aren't forgotten, because otherwise the specific ingredients and specific amounts just fade from memory (or maybe that is just me!).

Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)
